I have a Mishimoto CAC and hot and cold side pipes on my 2011. One of my turbo mounted BOV's is fried and I want to switch to a single CAC mounted BOV. Does anyone have recommendations for fitment? I assume Tial and Turbosmart are the go-to brands.

I also have a question about the swap. I understand I can run a vacuum reference to the new BOV, but do i need to do anything with the old boost control solenoids other then cap them off?

On my 11 I just capped them off when I did that. I got the Turbosmart with the 90 degree adapter. For boost reference I made it easy on myself and got the FR throttle body spacer and added a nipple to it for the reference point.

Yeah, I looked at that route, but my turbos have 120K miles on them so I will either go to GT's or buy a 2013 set from Tasca when they finally die. So if I need to spend money on BOV's now I might as well get one that will work with the future plans.

I read in a few places that the 2011/12's had replaceable diaphrams in the BOVs but I havent been able to find any part numbers. I may call the stealership and see if they have a part number. That would seem to be the cheapest fix short term. Of course then I still have to deal with the boost control solenoids and miles of vacuum hose getting old.

One question about just blocking off the Boost control solenoids and running a manifold boost reference - I know the tuners can use the solenoids controlling the wastegates to help tune. Do they also do that on the BOV? Will I lose adjustability by cutting the solenoid out? Or is the BOV just looking for vaccum to know when to dump boost after the throttle shuts?

Have been reading as many post as possible on catch cans. What one does everyone recommend is the best value for the money. I watched the video on the RX install. I like where it is located at but seen the price when I googled it. It is way out of my price range.

So since updating my sct to show OAR, I have found what I believe is the reason my trucks power feels very inconsistent.
The OAR will stay at -.96 to -.88 if I am driving nice and easy with it keeping the rpms down and easy on the throttle.
However, if I am hard on the truck or ever giving it...

I've had my '19 3.5 EB for about 2 weeks and am itching to do a couple of things to it...primarily intake and exhaust. I came from a RAM 1500 HEMI, and I know an EcoBoost will never sound like a V8, but it could definitely sound better than stock. I'm also well aware that any performance gains...

Looking for some custom tunes, not sure who to go with. Anyone with any help with who to go with would be greatly appreciated. 2015 F150 ecoboost 3.5L all stock with sct x4 preloaded tuner. There's a few to choose from but not sure what's best.

This is cross posted in my build thread but I thought for the purpose of public knowledge it would be beneficial to have a dedicated thread. This will allow people considering the system easier access when doing their research (hopefully they are doing research)!!
